The second and final phase of assembly elections in West Bengal is taking place today, with over 32 million voters eligible to cast their ballots across 142 constituencies. Key candidates include Mamata Banerjee (outgoing Chief Minister) and Suvendu Adhikari (outgoing leader of Opposition). The election covers eight districts, including Kolkata North and South, North and South 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Purba Bardhaman, Nadia, and Howrah. These areas are known strongholds for the Trinamool Congress, but this election is expected to present a significant challenge from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). To ensure voter safety, around 2,500 companies of central police forces have been deployed, alongside quick response teams. There are also 4,833 super sensitive booths designated for heightened security during the voting process.
